God sent his son among us to save us and we should not celebrate his having done so?

He did not send him to condemn the world, he sent him to save the world.

If you seek only condemnation, you will get it.

Yes we should. In the way He has shown. Not some man made celebration.

That's part of the reason for His holy days. He's got it covered. There was no reason to make up days.

He did not send him to condemn the world, he sent him to save the world.

Certainly. And one of those ways is to live the truth...to see the light...

Joh 3:19  And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 
Joh 3:20  For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 
Joh 3:21  But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God."
